"My jangada is sailing away,

My fate, you are so difficult..."

A piercingly sad story about street children from the mysterious Brazilian city of Salvador da Bahia. Who are they, the "sand captains" who keep the whole city in fear?

A gang of homeless teenagers from eight to sixteen years old, forced to wander, vagabond, make their way through odd jobs and steal, rob in order to survive.

"Sand captains are not like other children... They know everything about life, even the secrets of love... From childhood they lead the lives of adult men." They are victims of social injustice, and they are the only truly free people in the world.

In all of Jorge Amado's books, his homeland is sunny Brazil, which he put on the world map, painted in bright colors and brought to life. This is the sea, capoeira, fun, carnival, romance... The author loves his heroes, loves his country and its people.
